We are delighted to be able to announce that – of course! – we’ll be screening The Lionesses’ Women’s World Cup quarter-final against Norway on Thursday, on the West Holts Stage’s big screens. Kick-off is at 8pm.

It's my 60th birthday on Tuesday 23rd was hoping to extend the celebrations over the weekend at Glastonbury but having a festival themed socially distanced partaaaay at home. Alabama Shakes from 2015 would top it off nicely thank you. 😃😃

Hope it shows more than just The Pyramid stage tho, that’s only a tiny slice of Glastonbury.

Rolling stones full set 2013 would be awesome.

Get permission to show Leonard Cohen and Neil Young in full please, that would be brilliant.

Hope they may get permission from officials...
During COVID19 one of the best news we have heard from Music industry...
Refreshing Time....
Powerful Music with More Energy....

Helen Marshall-Hawley Clara Louise Blue Auffret Lori Hawley Jon Malyn Indigo Perspective Zaina Nasser Caroline Anderson Steve French Glasto from the comfort of your own home/garden....this could be my year! 😂😂😂 If the weather is good you are invited to our garden for a socially distanced beer/cider for the artist of your choice! Festival dress encouraged, personal hygiene demanded! 😂🥂🍻🎤🎼🥁🎸

If weather good have a mini festival out back x

Gave me a headache watching that promo.. Also some good memories....1997.. We’re coming at ya again...!

Thats a cool little video of people's photos 👍

Nothing like it used to be 😥

I'm desperate to experience Glastonbury

So excited for this x

Any idea how us in the US can enjoy? I’m not the greatest, but unable to locate either of those sites....

Just brought my t shirt please can you do hoodies as well please please glastonbury and Thank you love the wording will definitely be wearing this glastonbury weekend watching the tv

You need to put what this shows as on your statement because otherwise the banks are gonna get a lot of my cards been hacked calls. Pending transaction showing as sandbag waste doesn't sound like glastonbury tshirt

Oh my god I love this. My daughter is called Hope and we go to Glastonbury most years, I have bought the poster for her bedroom 🤩

Fabulous that you are continuing to support our charities in the enforced fallow year 💚 thank you

What happened to George Floyd was terrible but I’m not sure what action we are being invited to participate in? Are you asking people not go to work on June 2nd?

I don't think Floyd would have wanted all this violence in his behave. I know he would want everybody to pray and keep good memories. Store and resteraunt owners who are finally getting it together @ the past 3 months of uncertainties...are appauled at the actions of the public over the situation! Broken store windows, blowing up police cars and hurting others and police officers, as well! I just couldn't believe it all! People can believe inn peace, yet, there are many whom have no right to this type of reactive behavior. Floyd would not wanted this...😣

So your asking Drs nurses police officers firemen not to go to work.. erm well done back to the real world

Excellent. Thank you Glasto. We miss you.

All of those saying “I can’t take the day off” - it’s ok for those that can. Wow! Selfish much! It’s not about you!!
Quote:
“The aim is to have those within the music industry take a pause from promoting music, performing, holding listening parties across the day, instead using the time time to bring justice after Floyd’s death, which has prompted protests across the world in honour of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Well much as the music industry can take a day off, plenty of people can’t 🤷‍♀️ honestly this is one of the most privileged things you could do? Meanwhile Drs, nurses and care workers can’t have a day off

Highly Regards to all who stand with Humanity....
Stand against injustice and racism...

Yeah let's learn from America and disarm our police, let's take away their tazer's, because they kill people, and they can't be trusted to follow procedure and people are dying, # Nathan Grimes

Bloody hell just been lockdown for 11 weeks so probably go to work to save my sanity

Well done Glastonbury Festival.

Some people haven’t worked for 10 weeks

Yawn 🥱🥱🥱

Thank you from Los Angeles. This has to be a global effort and this is the focus right now.

I didn’t think Glastonbury Festival were pro censorship, but an awful lot of comments have disappeared from here....

I think there’s just one kind of folks ‘folks’ Harper Lee (to kill a mockingbird)

Thank you from SC USA

I very nearly did “black out” today due to the heat, speed and Watts I was pushing whilst achieving a 20mph average on my commute. 💪🏻
🚴🏻‍♂️💨
#BlackOutDay #BlackOutTuesday

Your not milking the cows today then or feeding all the animals on the farm...

The music industry is pretty much paused anyway though. Are u asking artists to withdraw from online sales for one day? Is that even possible? Its not like anyone had any gigs booked that day anyway

Glastonbury great idea

If I don't go to work today, my boss will put me on Blackout2020

Sorry lily i am already in work tonight x

I am appalled and devastated that in today’s world such disgusting and racist behaviour can happen. I morn for all who have been a victim and their families.
Glastonbury Festival stands for tolerance, acceptance and love. Thank you for standing up for justice, equality & peace 💚

For people who don't understand the reason this post is needed please start or continue to educate yourselves. If you're tired of the subject think of this; bipoc (black, indigenous and people of colour) do not get to be tired of racism as they live the reality of it, your ability to be tired or bored of it is privilege and should be checked.
In relation to 'all lives matter'... Black Lives Matter is not saying that all lives do not matter. They are saying that at this moment in time we need to focus on the fact that bipoc (predominantly black men) are disproportionately being killed. Therefore, we're focusing on those who need support and for their lives to be recognised as equal to others. To use an analogy that's being bandied around - if your house was on fire you'd want the fireman to put out the fire on your house. Sure all the other houses may have things wrong with them, there may even be embers hitting them but yours is burning down. Do they spray down the houses not on fire or focus on the house on fire?

The BBC has announced its broadcast plans for the weekend when this year's Glastonbury Festival would have been, with a host of classic sets being made available across TV, radio & online, including Adele, Beyoncé, David Bowie, Coldplay & JAY-Z. Info: glas.to/bbc-2020... See MoreSee Less

Some film of the other non-stage parts of past festivals would be lovely! As we know there is much more to Glastonbury than stages.

boring,reruns are just that,would have been much better to get some of the headline acts from this year to broadcast live from staying at home,you could have raised a small fortune for your chosen charities by getting everyone that watched online to donate.

Radiohead 1997 please! One of the greatest nights ever!

Although I’m beyond gutted that we won’t be at the farm this year, in a way it’s fitting that everyone that wants to CAN celebrate the 50th anniversary together. It’s going to be a special weekend for anyone that’s ever been & dreams to go. Let’s appreciate what we’ve had so far & make it a special weekend of celebration. Xxxx

Please can we have Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds when they were on main stage before headliner Mumford and Sons. But please dont show Mumford and Sons

Laura Marie - shall we do some kind of socially distant outside nod to glasto? We could have a bucket for a long drop and stay well away from each other but still manage a drink? Or is irresponsible?
Maybe a virtual glasto?

How about something from the 1980's when I went as a child 1987 was the last time I went

Bruce Springsteen and Oasis would be great 🙂 Bowie and Barry Gibb too 🙂

Anything from 2010!! Stevie wonder, Muse, Faithless , so many good ones!!

Just run last years IDLES set on repeat all weekend 😎😎

Would love to see King Sunny Ade, Joe Cocker or Sinead O'connor... Bowie, Tom Jones... Iet my grandkids generation know what we all go on about from back then they might even like some of it, oh yes and Richie Havens, Jackson Brown......

Please can we see some footage of John Peel at Glastonbury, loved watching him wandering around the glasto fields

2010 was defo the BEST YEAR - I went when I was 9 years old that year and it was amazing and all of my favourite artists performed - will never forget it

my good friend Duncan McFarlane wants to see orbital’s headline set on the other stage. and gorillaz headline set on the pyramid stage when they had to stand in at the last minute 😃😃😃

Fab news, hope they include Arcadia fire,
👍🥰

Dig a hole in the garden babs! We’ll be “longdropping” that weekend! Cracking coverage this 🕺👏🎸 Sonja

I can remember you all going there doesn't seem that long ago but life has moved on since then good memories for you though

‪This June will consist of pitching up the tent and camping chairs in the garden and getting the laptop out for some Glastonbury viewing!

Rufus Wainwright ‘s amazing 2013 set please ! It was absolutely perfection from start to finish ! Gutted as he was signed up for this year - please say he will be there in 2021 🙏🏼

Please play some sets from the other stages. TV is saturated with the “big” pop celebrities. We don’t need to see them again.

Kylie from last year!

Nick cave should be a main stage headliner next year or soon. His arena shows more than prove the ability and demand to headline.

I’d love to see East India Youth, Metallica, FFS and Neil Diamond all over again ✨👌🏻🎶

Glastonbury festivals and events have been cancelled for the coming months. Fans of Glastonbury are asked not to visit the town for the traditional Summer Solstice celebration in June to protect the community.Please share and help us have a #safesummersolstice
